    A boy because I'd have more in common with them, and I can't be dealing with hormonal teenage girls ..

    No offence

    A boy. I don't know why, I've just always seen myself having a son one day. Possibly more children, but always at least one son. I think the bond I have with my father is something really special and something unique to father-son relationships, I'd like that bond with my own child.

    Boy

    Boy- I can understand them a lot easier. As long as they've got a bed, food and a decent internet connection they'll be happy enough

    A boy, I need someone to pass on my name to. The men of my family seem to have four different names which just get recycled and alternate from First and Middle Names.

    I think it's 'cause I'm already a boy and know what it's like to grow up as a boy. Having a girl seems like it would be more interesting and new to me. Though I am aware having a child is the same as being a child lol. Was just my initial feeling anyway.

    It honestly wouldn't matter to me what gender my future child turned out to be, I'd still love him/her all the same.

    A boy.

    Because girls are Nancies, and they can't drink liquor.
